Is that the most one-sided refereeing performance you've seen this year?

[tomdl]

Aside from the penalty try the rest of it was 50/50 and you wouldn't be moaning about it if it wasn't for your brisbane hatred. So many cry babies.

Pennywise haven't released a good album in 15+ years and the band was better with Zoli

Don't think they ever released an entire decent album.

 

[umina panther]

Don't think they ever released an entire decent album.

Straight Ahead would be the best imo

 

[Tenacious Titans]

Ah, nothing like a good ol' referee whinge.

No doubt the Titans copped the brunt of some 'tough' calls, but most of them were technically correct

and here's another one.

You obviously don't know the game very well if you really think most of those calls were correct. You guys are in the minority on this, you look anywhere and everywhere in the rugby league world and they'll all say the same thing, the officiating was rubbish but of course you're too blind to see it.

 

[God-King Dean]

Ah, what would a Broncos thread be without a bit of Big Pete smugggggggg

It's cute knowing his opinion would be the polar opposite if the decisions went the other way

 

[Doomednow]

To be a Broncos fan and justify the Oates penalty and the Roberts kick is complete one-eyedness. No excuses for that bullshit.

What ya on about? Zoli wasn't there 15 years ago.

On a side note. Pretty surprised by the punk rock pressence on LU. Might have to join the team n finally add a pic to my profile.

Punk's Just Sleeping

 

[Card Shark]

It's OK for the 'Bunker' to step in, when they feel like it, and overturn or make a ruling on an incident not involving a try ie tonight in reversing a decision originally awarding a scrum feed to the Titans. That's fine

The ref asked them to look at.

Farce !

Haha. The penalty try was the only thing that could be copped

Time for Todd to face the media this morning & explain why the refs even care there is a 12 point gap. When there is a match fixing investigation against players, it's a bad look and poor timing if nothing else. But no doubt Todd is washing his hair this morning instead.

 

[bluey]

I did notice the parker head clash and didn't think much of it, but gee the rest appeared very one sided.

 

[Spot On]

Can a anyone explain why the referees are communicating the points spread to each other during a game???? If that doesn't force some action from the NRL then what sort of integrity do they have in light of the current NSW Police investigation into their players????

On a brighter note, most of us have been wanting the biff back and it seems the NRL has listened by loosening the crackdown on foul play. I can't see any reason why players should no able to kick each other in the ruck and headbut each other when a scrum is put down. Breaking a players jaw with a high shot is now kosher, the shoulder charge is now back and acceptable and it can't be too long before you can throw a few and not face any penalty.

Bring it on!!!

Or do those rules only apply to some?

At least anyone contesting a high ball now knows they can gain a penalty for their side if they are dopey enough to jump on top of an opposition player and fall and land awkwardly due to their own stupidity.

 

[Spot On]

In anyone's language it was called a headbutt.

In the NRL's book it would be called a ........... ?????? Whatever they dream up this week.

 

[Meth]

To be fair, nobody deserves a head butt more than Ryan James, except for possibly Greg Bird

 

[big hit!]

so you can't kick the footy, but you're allowed to kick a player in the nrl.

the inconsistencies in the involvement of the bunker was highlighted when the idiot over ruled on a knock-on on replay reversing a GC feed on the field by awarding it to the broncos, yet allowed roberts to kick a player in the ruck go unpunished, and allowed an incorrect penalty to be awarded to oates. and with 4 officials on the field - 1 who should have his eyes on the ruck at all times - the excuse by the ref that he didn't see it is a failure in referring. that ref must be dumped.

that oates penalty had me promptly reaching for my remote and switching over to watch the 2nd half of the AFL......and thank f**k for that as it was one of the greatest games in the history of that League. had the NRL been capable, i would watched until the end of the NRL match and gone straight to bed.

the sooner the bunker's influence is reduced and they allow challenges to contest an on-field decision, the better. these morons administering and doing the actual officiating under the current conditions have turned the NRL into a joke.

frankly, i'm now making other plans this arvo and evening now. before last night, i would have stayed in to watch both NRL finals. f**k that. waste of time and a frustrating piece of shit watching rugby league now.

Surely Tony Archer's position is now untenable. This is an interesting situation now. The officiating was so bad last night the Toddy has a very real conundrum. Back the entire league loving community and sack the refs boss to gain public support and show he actually watches the game or deliver more rhetoric and push the company line alienating the league community even further.

The NRL is an absolute mess and action no must take place today or the media are simply given more ammunition to continue criticising (much warranted criticism though) throughout the finals.

 

[Meth]

Also, most one sided refereeing performance I have seen is Warriors v Tigers, finals 2011.

This might be second. But f**k the Titans.

 

[POPEYE]

Get used to the bullshit fellas, there's more to come. What isn't bullshit judging by the way he comes across to the public is that Henry would make a fine RL administrator, something Turdy doesn't and Benny wouldn't

If you don't believe me you don't watch the pressers

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Even the Oates 'mid-air tackle/dangerous position' is consistent with a bunch of calls that have been made over the years. Maybe the referees should be provided with the option to determine who initiated contact, but when it comes to those sorts of tackles, I'd hate to encourage the kicking side in that situation.

What a load of horsesh*t, Pete. It was the wrong call.

 

[POPEYE]

Also, spare a thought for Sutton, whatever Badger has is contagious, proximity to it may well bring his undoing . . . . and you can't blame a brother for protecting a brother
